II Performance Therapy Symposium
Based on the pair's social work with jazz music and music therapy in Latin America over the past two decades, the Performance Therapy Symposium is an interconnective learning experience that looks at the art and science of music from all points of view. Scientists, artists, academics, and leaders discuss different topics about the creative process in music, science, life, and the different ways we can expand knowledge to achieve world harmony.
